Champagne Deutz tasting Nov 5/13

The Date and Time: Tuesday, November 5, 201310AM to noon

The Event: Champagne Deutz tasting with Export Director Philippe Rivet and the team from his Ontario agency, Tandem Selections.

The Venue: Independent Wine Education Guild Toronto offices

The Target Audience: wine media

The Availability/Catalogue: mostly from the agent.

The Quote/Background: M. Rivet spoke to his company before we tasted the wines  they use first pressings only, 80% of their total acreage is Grand or Premier Cru (mostly around Ay), and they use the same distinctive unique bottle shape for all labels. There was a visual tour of the facilities and vineyards, as well as graphs and charts.
